Justin Verlander, Who Is Rich and Famous, Still Gets Excited When He Thinks He Hears His Name on Television

Justin Verlander won a World Series and married Kate Upton earlier this month so you can excuse him if he thinks that everything in the world revolves around Justin Verlander. During the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving day loss to the Minnesota Vikings, quarterback Matthew Stafford called an audible that sounded like “Verlander Verlander.” Or was it “Urlacher Urlacher?”

Verlander asked his Twitter followers and they mostly agreed with him. I guess you hear who you follow because to me, it pretty clearly sounds like “Urlacher.” Maybe the truth doesn’t matter. Maybe this is the audible version of The Dress and there is no right answer.

Stephen Douglas

Born and raised in Mid-Southern Upstate New York, Stephen holds a master's degree in public communications. Money well spent? I'd say so. These days he jokes about sports on the Internet. Professionally.
